London-based digital twin platform provider Quaisr has raised USD 3.1 million in a pre-seed funding round led by Crane Venture Partners, with participation from Acequia Capital and angel investors like Carsten Thoma and Eric Landau. 

The funding will be used to expand Quaisr's team, particularly across the business development and engineering teams. 

Quaisr, a spinout of Imperial College London and Alan Turing Institute, creates advanced tools for engineers and research scientists in the heavy industry sector to automate processes at scale. Its platform enables the efficient execution of time-intensive tasks without extensive training. The company aims to combine simulation with operational data in a category called “SimOps,” enabling innovation and experimentation in heavy industries such as manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods. Quaisr has partnerships with Aerospace Xelerated and QinetiQ.
